Word origin

The term 'boogie' has its roots in the African American vernacular and culture. It is derived from the word 'boogie-woogie,' which refers to a style of jazz piano playing that became popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The term originally referred to a lively, upbeat rhythm and was often associated with dance. Over time, 'boogie' expanded to encompass a broader meaning, particularly in the context of dance and popular music. By the 1970s, it was firmly established as a term for social dancing to disco and funk music, and it has since remained a vibrant part of contemporary cultural vernacular.
